Concerns Raised Over Online Gaming, Polyester Fibre Prices, and Lawrence Bishnoi Gang Activities

Lok Sabha MPs voiced concerns over various issues: Shrikant Shinde highlighted the rising addiction to gaming apps, Karti Chidambaram criticized non-tariff barriers on polyester fibre imports, while Amrinder Singh Raja Warring raised alarms about the Lawrence Bishnoi gang's activities.

During the Zero Hour on Friday in Lok Sabha, Shrikant Shinde spotlighted the growing addiction to gaming applications like Junglee Rummy, expressing worries over their societal impact and financial implications. Shinde noted that online gaming addiction affects 3.5 per cent of adolescents and emphasized the need for increased awareness and stricter laws.

Also during the session, Congress MP Karti Chidambaram criticized the non-tariff barriers on polyester fibre imports, which he claims have led to inflated prices in India. Chidambaram suggested that crony capitalism is benefiting certain manufacturers at the expense of the textile industry.

In another address, Ludhiana MP Amrinder Singh Raja Warring drew attention to the criminal activities of the Lawrence Bishnoi gang. Warring questioned the government's inaction despite Bishnoi's nefarious activities, including the murder of Sidhu Moosewala and threats against Salman Khan.
